Despite offering many-a-jaw dropping moment from shocking wins and upsets to tongue in cheek tackling of social and political issues, the 90th Academy Awards was far from a ratings winner.

Look inside to see just how many watched the annual spectacle:

Beyonce and JAY-Z may not have attended the Oscars, but that didn’t stop the power pair from making their mark.

The couple hosted a celebratory bash for friend Mary J. Blige – who was nominated for two awards for her critically acclaimed role in ‘Mudbound.’

And oh did they bring out the cavalry.

Hosted at Chateau Marmont, the event was of course attended by MJB and notably Nicki Minaj – who has not been seen in months and hasn’t posted anything on social media since last December.

Other major names in attendance included Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones, Daniel Kaluuya, Diddy, Naomi Campbell, DJ Khaled, Angela Bassett, Usher, Shonda Rhimes, Whoopi Goldberg,  Salma Hayek, Chadwick Boseman, Tiffany Haddish, Janelle Monáe, Olivia Wilde, Jason Sudeikis, Mindy Kaling, Drake, Nick Jonas, Jordan Peele, and many more.

Tiffany Haddish was also in the house – interesting given her “shout out” on Bey’s collaboration with Khaled, Jay, and Future (‘Top Off’). Perhaps, that NDA was signed?
